I can’t wait to turn this thing into my cyclocross bike this fall.

Let me start with telling you how incredibly sorry that I am for your loss. I’ve lost some close family members to cancer, but I can’t even begin to imagine what you must be going through. You are truly an inspiration with your strength.

…and your implicit powers or persuasion. I figured that since I would be in Philly this weekend visiting the in-laws with my baby daughter, I might as well sneak away for a few hours. Granted, my training regiment has been VERY lack luster this season, which is why I opted for the 45 mile ride, but I’m going to give my all and see what happens.

Thanks again for your inspiration. This ought to be fun.

This is awesome. Regardless of the prize, THANK YOU for fighting for those with cancer and supporting the livestrong foundation! We are huge supporters of Livestrong and The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. My older sister is coming up on year #5 of survival from stage 4 malignant melanoma. She is the one who got me into running, and after watching her at Ironman Lake Placid two weeks ago, she is the reason I want to get into triathlons. (now I just need a bike!!) Praying for your wife…never give up the fight!

All I need to do to this bike is throw on some Chris King Breast Cancer Benefitting hubs and it’s my dream bike. I’m sorry Susan had to face the battle – donation coming. Fight against the evil cancer until cancer faces the end – not humans!

Wow — I hope I can win the bike so I can donate it back to the cause. It seems it would invalidate my contribution to take a bike in return. Thank you for your outstanding fundraising efforts!

You friggin’ rock Elden. Your wife is amazing, your cause noble, your ideas and networking and teamwork amazing. I am humbled and inspired. Not trying to gain extra favors (or lines), just wanted you to know that you’re darn cool.
